Celene is Greek, Latin in Origin.

Celene blends two luminous traditions. As a spelling poised between Greek Selene (Σελήνη), it links to the moon goddess and the meaning “moon,” while its C-initial echoes French Céline, ultimately from Latin Caelina/caelum, “heaven, sky.” The result is a name that can be read as “moonlike” or “heavenly,” depending on the lineage emphasized.

Documented in English- and Spanish-speaking countries since the mid-20th century, Celene functions as a modern, streamlined alternative to Selene/Selena and to Celine. In French contexts, Céline has long-standing use connected with early medieval saints and later cultural visibility; Celene, though rarer, travels on those influences internationally. Variants and cognates include Selene, Selena, Selina; Celine, Céline, Celina; and related forms such as Celia and Celeste that share the caelum root. The spelling Celene preserves the sleek -e ending of Celine while retaining the mythic resonance of Selene.
